Guided Reading and Literacy Centers

Literacy Workshop

"The ultimate goal of guided reading is to help children learn how to use independent reading strategies successfully."
~Fountas and Su Pinnell, 1996

While I instruct a small group of students, the rest of the class participates in literacy centers. While in a literacy center children work on skills previously taught with a small group or independently. The three rules for the literacy centers are:

1. Use a quiet voice.

2. Cooperate with others.

3. Do your job.

Scroll down to find files of activities that I use in my classroom. I made them all so you are free to print and share. The best part of teaching is the sharing part!
